Rolls-Royce predicts a 16% increase in annual profit in the UK, saying it can completely offset the impact of the Iran conflict.

British aircraft engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce said on April 30 that the company is fully capable of mitigating the impact of the Iran conflict and will maintain its expectation of a 16% year-on-year increase in operating profit. Rolls-Royce had previously forecast full-year operating profit of 4 billion to 4.2 billion by 2026, at least a 16% increase from 2025. Rolls-Royce said on the 30th that it will maintain this expectation. Chief Executive Warren East said at the annual shareholders' meeting that, although the Middle East conflict brings uncertainty to the aviation industry, the company is fully capable of mitigating the impact of the Middle East conflict on its finances.
